Looks beautiful to me
"Please", Thank You" and proper manners appreciated
My greatest fear is that one day I will die and my wife will sell my guns for what I told her I paid for them

Also forgot about this tag in the inside pocket. I wasn't able to get a good picture of it myself so this is from the auction site. If anyone could make out what it says that would be awesome as it appears nearly impossible to read to me
It says:
"Herr Oberfähnrich Christiansen
Januar 1937"

Awesome, thanks so much for the information! I'm assuming Oberfahnrich is a rank? Google translate said it meant "chief of staff"?

Forget online translators. "Chief of staff" is totally wrong.... Oberfähnrich was the highest of the officer candidate ranks. They were:
- Fahnenjunker [equivalent to the basic-level Soldat, Schütze etc.]
- Fahnenjunkergefreiter [equivalent to Gefreiter]
- Fahnenjunkerunteroffizier [equivalent to Unteroffizier]
- Fähnrich [equivalent to Unterfeldwebel]
- Oberfähnrich [equivalent to Oberfeldwebel]
The owner acquired this Waffenrock when he was still an Oberfähnrich. He was later commissioned as a Leutnant and then promoted to Oberleutnant, the rank worn on the tunic.
